AISF Opposes RGUKT IIIT Ongole Campus Relocation, Threatens Protests
Imagine a school called RGUKT IIIT Ongole in a city.
The government hasn't paid the rent for the building, and the owner wants them to leave.
Now, the students are worried they will have to move to a different school.
The AISF, a student group, is upset and doesn't want the school to move.
They say it will be difficult for the students.
They want the school to stay where it is.
If the government doesn't listen, the AISF says they will organize big protests all over the state.
AISF opposes the government's decision to relocate RGUKT IIIT Ongole campus.
The government allegedly shut down the campus due to unpaid rent.
The campus has been operating out of a building since October 2019, with a monthly rent of ₹15 lakh.
The building management issued eviction notices due to eight months of unpaid rent.
AISF threatened State-wide protests if their plea to continue classes in the existing campus is unheeded.
